Just when you think that the tank is empty from the Sex Pistols bollocks sessions, more gets unearthed. This is not flogging a dead horse (although some of you may see it that way and you're forgiven for being wrong.) this is more about bringing all the rare tracks in one handy package that saves an awful lot of hunting through bootleg cassettes, dodgy vinyl recordings and 'orrible sounding CDs for a particular version .
Every track has been re-mastered from the original tapes (including Spunk) so they now sound as good as they're going to get. Every little nuance is there in all it's glorious form.
To me Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols is the greatest debut album of all time by the greatest rock n roll band to ever exist. It's the album that I hold other debut albums up against. There's not a bad or skippable track on the original record which is why it's a solid 10/10 and this box is no exception.
This 4 CD box presents a lot of demos, rehearsals and rough mixes from 76-77. The majority of the material within has been released over the years in items such as the super deluxe version of the Never Mind The Bollocks and the 3CD set of Jubilee (Sexbox1).
Among the unreleased material is a God Save The Queen instrumental that cements that the pistols could in fact play despite the BS that was being touted by their (mis)management. All the instrumentals that appear throughout this set (and there's a few of them) show Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock were (and still are) a power house trio that are tighter than a nuns chuff.
Even the rough takes, John was pushing his voice to the limit at that particular time. The Pistols really were dedicated in honing their craft before recording the main event.
For every punk and Sex Pistols fan, this is a must have box because you can never have enough bollocks.
